Join a Club

When you join a CFUW club in Alberta you are a member of that club, CFUW Alberta, CFUW national, and Graduate Women International (if the club is a GWI opt-in club) with all the opportunities membership provides. Your dues support the activities and actions taken by all levels of the organization. Alberta has 5 clubs to choose from, or you can become an e-club member, click here for more information.

Take Policy Action 

CFUW takes a stand on a variety of issues including gender-based violence, early learning and child care, education, the environment, and the empowerment of women as leaders and decision-makers. You don't have to be a professional advocate to take action, whether individually, as part of your club, part of provincial council, part of a national committee, or part of an international committee, you can take action on a variety of issues.
